  • The court adjourned the case to allow for amendment of charges.

The Federal Capital Territory High Court in Kuje has postponed the arraignment of Prof. Usman Yusuf, former Executive Secretary of the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS), until Monday, February 3, 2025.

Yusuf was taken into custody by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Wednesday, January 29, 2025, and appeared before Justice Chinyere E. Nwecheonwu on Thursday to face fraud allegations.

However, the court delayed the case to permit charge amendments. This development was disclosed in an EFCC statement on Thursday.

During the brief hearing, defense counsel Isah Dokto Haruna requested bail for Yusuf, but the judge denied the request, citing the postponed arraignment.

“In the absence of a formal arraignment, bail at this stage is premature,” Justice Nwecheonwu ruled, ordering Yusuf to remain in EFCC custody until his next court appearance.

The case will resume on February 3, 2025, when Yusuf will be formally arraigned.
